Solar Fans

How Solar Fans Help Attic Temperature Regulation

A solar attic fan removes that heated air and releases it outside before it can compound in your attic. Smaller, secondary vents draw cool air into your attic, which lowers your home’s overall temperature. This is great for many reasons; it doesn’t damage anything stored in your attic, mold and other temperature related issues won’t pop up and best of all it saves you money in the long run. When you don’t have a mass of super heated air in the top of your house, it won’t radiate through the rest of your home. This means your air conditioner doesn’t have to work as hard to cool your house, which will save you money.

Pro's

Easy to install: A homeowner can install a solar attic fan in about an hour (we can do it for you in 30 :p)

Extend the life of your roof: When warm, moist air from your home collides with a cold roof during the winter months, it can cause condensation. Without proper venting, this moisture builds up, causing mold and mildew.

Quiet: A solar attic fan is so quiet, you probably won’t be able to hear it.

Saves you money in the long run: The electricity to run your electric fan cost the amount you are saving on your air conditioner not running. Solar Fans require not cost to operate

Con's

Only work in direct sunlight: Positioning is important and critical

Can’t store energy: Unlike the solar panels you install to power your whole home, the small collectors attached to fans don’t have the ability to store the electricity you generate.
